9f 28, as against 6 Democrats In the New York delegation. The registration in Greater New York this year, while not as heavy as last year, gives promise of a large vote being brought out, the figures being: This year. 556.389: last year. 567.192. The vote ordinarily is about 7 per cent, less than the registration. Colonel Roosevelt after speaking in varioua parts of the city to-day closed his campaign to-night by making ten speeches to great crowds. Judge Van Wyck made his closing speech at Troy to-night. The executive committee of Tammany Hall held its final meeting before the election to-day and received reports from all the district leaders. The figures given out were that Tammany expects to carry New York county by 76,000 plurality, and that the figures from the other borough leaders Fed the committee to make the claim that the Republicans must come to the city with a plurality of 96.5C0 if they expect to elect Colonel Roosevelt. THU PES NAY LVAJi IA FIGHT. Republican* Will Win Despite Claim* of the Opposition. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Nov. s.—Mass meetings all over the State to-night closed the most heated political campaign that Pennsylvania lias experienced in many years. There are four state tickets iu the field. The candidates for Governor are: Wm. A Stone, Rep.; George A. Jenks, Dem.; Silas C. Swallow, Prohi., People s, Liberty and Honest Government, and J. *Mahlon Barnes, Soc. Lab, The followers of Stone, Jenks and Swallow are claiming with < or.siderable degree of confidence that their favorite will be elected, and there is every indication that each of these three candidates will receive a heavy vote. Swallow lias received the formal indorsement of the Prohibitionist, People's, Liberty and Honest Government parties. A number of Republicans and Democrats also publicly declared their intention of voting for Swallow as an evidence of their dissatisfaction with party leaders. During the last few weeks the Democratic candidate, has received great encouragement through the return to the fold of prominent Democrats who had not been in accord with the party movements since the Chicago convention. Notwithstanding the claims made b> the Swallow and Jenks leaders, the Republican party managers claim that the alleged disaffection iu the party will have no other effect than to slightly reduce the party vote for Stone, and Slate Chairman Elkin to-night claims that the Republican candidate will have at least 100,0.0 plurality. The total vote in the Wtate will approximate 1,000.000. The present delegation in Congress comprises twenty-seven Republicans and three Democrats. It Is generally believed the Democrats will regain a few of the districts lost by them in the congressional election of 1896. The last Legislature had an overwhelming Republican majority. On Tuesday next there will be elected 204 members of the House and twenty-five senators, half of the Senate—twenty-four Republicans and .one Democrat—holding over. The new Legislature will elect a United States senator to succeed Senator Quay. A faction of the Republican party has centered their opposition to the leadership of Senator Quay, and in some of the legislative districts fusion with the Democrats has been made on candidates who are opposed to the senator's re-election.

IXTERTAIX I\ MISSOURI. Legislature Claimed by the Manager* of Both Leading Parties. ST. LOUIS, Nov. s.—To-night saw the close of a political campaign in Missouri that has been remarkable for an off year. Out in the State the campaigning has been heavy. It opened with a prospect of a repetition of off-year history, apathy and lack of interest, but it warmed up suddenly about two weeks ago and is closing with much of the (ire of presidential years. The Republican state managers were prepared fer Democratic apathy in the State, and arranged to make a still hunt canvass for the Legislature. But the campaign soon got away from them on this programme, and they had change It considerably. Officially it is claimed at Democratic headquarters that they will carry seventy-nine out of 115 counties in the State, leaving entirely o>ut of the count ihoso which are doubtful. Sixteen counties are put in the doubtful column. The city campaign is a puzzler. Chauncey I. Filley has jumped into the field, strenuously fighting to overthrow the “City Hail gang.’’ so called, and the outcome is watched with keen interest. National issues are completely drowned out in St. Louis, because of the local campaign, but throughout the State the campaign has been carried on according to the Chicago platform, the free-silver idea being still predominant. There are six state party tickets in the field—Republican, Democratic, Populist <tw’o). Prohibition, Socialist-Lalior and So-cial-Democratic. There are two Populist or People’s party tickets, as the Populists and middle-of-the-roaders split, and both tickets were ordered to be placed on the ballot by the Supreme Court. The Democrats claim every congressman except Richard Bartholdt. The Republicans say the congressional delegation will number the same as at present—twelve Democrats and three Republicans. In regard to the Legislature, the Democrats claim they have a majority of twenty on joint ballot, while the Republicans claim that they have •. majority of ten. IN COLORADO. Republican* Claim 15,000 anl Fusion--Ist* 0.000 Plurality. DKN\ ER, Col., Nov. s.—The speaking campaign in Colorado closed to-night, Senators Teller and Wolcott have both stumped the State. Senator Wolcott has claimed the only hope for free silver is through the Republican party by international agreement, possibly with anew ratio. Ex-Governor Waite, former Populist leader, supports the Republican ticket. Although ten parties are -named on the official ballot, the contest is really between Thomas, gubernatorial candidate of the Democrats and People s; Teller, sliver Republican; National People's and Liberal l nion parties, and Henry R. Wolcott,' leading the Republican, silver Republican and Western Republican tickets. Both sides claim victory, the Republicans by 15.oO® and the fusionists by 5,000 to 6.000 majority. The only other gubernatorial candidates are Robert Rhodes. Prohibition, and Nixon Elliott, Socialist Labor. Congressman Sliafroth. silver Republican, and Bell, Populist, it is generally believed will be re-elected. The fusionists will carry the Legislature, but the Republicans hope to elect a majority of eighteen senators who will hold over and vote in the election of Senator Wolcott’s successor in 1901. W. J. BRYAN'S STATE. FualonlMtN Confident of Routing All the Republican t'nndidiite*. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. s.—Nebraska has fivo state tickets In the field—Republican, fusion Democrat,. Populist and free silver. Prohibition. Socialist Labor and Liberty (free silver) Prohibition. The last three parties cut little figure in the vote. The fight has been waged largely on state isc “A cold j ) on the chest” Ayer's ickmry Pectoral! ) “A cure 5 | in a night” j

sues, though the fusionists have made free silver a leading theme, and the Republicans the successful prosecution of the war. Campaign managers of both leading parties claim confidence, the fusionists being most outspoken. Chairman Gaffan saying they will elect the entire state ticket, both houses of the Legislature, four of the six congressmen sure and probably the other two. Chairman Slaughter, of the Republicans. says Hayward (Rep.) for Governor will be elected, and possibly the whole state ticket. He has hopes of the Legislature. He is sure of congressmen in the First and Second districts, and has strong hopes of winning in the Fourth and Fifth. Senator Allen says the Legislature will be strongly fusionist and he will be his own successor. IN M’KINLEY’S STATE. Republican* May Succeed In Retaining All Their Congressmen. CINCINNATI. 0., Nov. s.—The campaign closed here to-night as it did elsewhere in Ohio with demonstrations. In this county, which includes the First and Second congressional districts, there has been no speaking except by local talent until tonight, when Hon. Charles Emory Smith, postmaster general, General Charles H. Grosvenor, Congressman from the Athena district, and others addressed the Republicans at Music Hall. In escorting the distinguished visitors to the hall the Republican clubs gave quite a street parade. The Democrats closed the campaign with meetings addressed by local candidates. Factional differences have caused Independent and fusion tickets here the past two years, but this year there are straight party tickets only. For this reason the Republicans will likely elect both congressmen, but the old factional lines may affect their county ticket. The only national Issue agitated here was on sustaining the national administration with a Republican majority in Congress. Neither side discussed the tariff, currency or other questions. There are five state tickets—Republican. Democratic, Prohibitionists. Socialists and Reformers-. All have full tickets here and in other cities, but in some counties the Socialists and Reformers are not recognized. While the Republicans will likely carry the State, the Democrats claim the Republicans cannot gain any congressmen. On the last presidential vote the Republicans secured fifteen and the Democrats six congressmen in Ohio. ♦ IN MINNESOTA. Democratic Chairman Rosing Making Bold Prediction*. ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. s.—The campaign in Minnesota has been fairly quiet, and the vote will be greatly reduced from two years ago. This is due partly to the constitutional amendment adopted two years ago resulting in the disfranchisement of many foreignborn residents, second naturalization papers and longer residence in the State being now required. The Republicans have made a general campaign on both national and state Issues, while the Democrats have held closely to state issues, by that means bringing together those who were working apart two years ago. Besides the full state ticket and congressmen, the Legislature to be chosen will select a successor to United States Senator Cushman K. Davis, and the senators will also participate in the election of a successor to United States Senator Knute Nelson. Judge J.‘ D. Steele, chairman of the Republican state committee, predicts the election of the entire Republican ticket, congressional delegation and a safe majority in the Legislature. L. A. Rosing, chairman of the Democratic state committee, feels sure of the election of John Lind, fusion candidate for Governor, by a majority of 20,€00, also part of the rest of the state ticket, the Supreme Court judges and three of the seven congressmen, but concedes that the Republicans will control the Legislature by a reduced majority. riNGHEB MAY HAVE A SCARE. Democrat* Expect to Cut Down the Potato Patch Man’* Majority. DETROIT, Nov. s.—Until within a week of election day the Michigan campaign was quiet and apathetic. It had been conceded that Governor Pingree and the Republican state ticket would be easily elected. The past week, however, considerable opposition to a second term for the Governor developed among influential Republicans, but it is claimed that its effect upon Governor Plngree's anticipated big majority will not be especially noteworthy. The Democrats have made an extremely active campaign, and they predict the safe election of exCongressman Whiting as Governor. They also claim the election of at least half of the congressional delegation, which now contains but two Democrats. In the selection of members of the Legislature Governor Pingree's equal taxation reforms have developed into almost as much of an issue as party politics. The Governor's most intimate following are determined that a good majority of those favoring increased railroad taxation shall be elected, and they are opposed to the reelection of United States Senator Burrows. The Populists and middle-of-the-road Populists have separate tickets, which seem destined to cut little figure in the results, and national issues have not been brought forward prominently aside from incidental mention in the congressional contests.

CALIFORNIA MAY BE CLOSE. Republican*, Hon vcr, Are Confident of Almost a Clean Sweep. SAX FRANCISCO, Nov. s.—The political campaign, which waa practically ended in California to-night, has been a most vigorously conducted one all along the line. California this year elects a full set of state officers, seven congressmen and a Legislature that will elect a United States senator to succeed Stephen A. White. This year the Democrats, Silver Republicans and Populists have fused and named a ticket, opposed to which are the Republican and Prohibition tickets. There was a split at the Democratic-Populist fusion convention, and the middle-of-the-road Populists broke away and nominated a ticket of their own. Their candidate for Governor, however, has withdrawal, and the discontented Populists are not expected to make much of a' showing. The various candidates have all stumped the State thoroughly, and, as usual, every one seems confident of his election. The contest for Governor has been particularly warm Congressman James C. Maguire is the fusion party candidate, and Henry T. Gage, a Los Angeles lawyer, heads the Republican ticket. There has been a large amount of money wagered on the governorship tight, and Gage rules a slight favorite over Maguire. No one at the Democratic headquarters would risk a prediction as to the result, while the Republicans claimed that Gage would be elected by a comfortable margin. The Republicans also claim the Legislature, and expect to elect most of the congressmen. SIX TICKETS IN WISC ONSIN. Republicans Wilt Carry Che Legislature and Elect a Senator. MILWAUKEE. Wis., Nov. a—With two or more important meetings to be held under the auspices of the two leading parties taking part in the present struggle in Wisconsin the campaign will have come to a close. There are six state tickets in the field from which the voters will have a chance to make a choice. The chairmen of the Republican and Democratic state central committees claim to be sure of victory, the former by from 30.000 to 50,000 plurality. In this election the Democrats, to win, must overcome a plurality of nearly ]oo,ouo votes of two years ago. Os the ten congressmen to be chosen, the chances greatly favor the Republicans, as the election will be held unuer the apportionment of districts as mapped out by the Republicans under the last gerrymander. The Republicans ought to elect seven out of the ten, and may get one or two more, if not a full delegation. The Legislature will, without doubt, under the same conditions, be In control of tte Republicans. There are sixteen holdover Republican senators, out of a total in the upper house of thirty-three, and the Republicans should return sixty-five out of one Hundred members to the Assembly. This will result in Wisconsin sending a Republican United States senator to the national Congress to succeed John L. Mitchell, whose term expires on the 4th of March next. FOl R TICKETS IN KANSAS. Republican* Certain of Electing at I.east Fttur Congressmen. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. s.—The campaign In Kansas has been remarkable for the earnest work of the leaders and the apathy of the voters, particularly in the country distrifts. There are four tickets in the field, the Populists (fusion), led by Governor Republicans, by W. E. Stanley; Prohibitionists, by ex-Senatur Better, and

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER (5, 1898.

Socialist Labor, by Caleb Lippscomb. The Populists have made a strong feature of the record of their state officers. The Republicans. while answering this, have featured the record of President McHrhiiey. As the plurality for Leedy was but slightly above 7,000, the margin for speculation on the result is very’ slight. All but one of the eight congressional districts are claimed by both the Republicans and Populists. A conservative estimate of tiie winners in the congressional fight will be perhaps be as follows: Republican—Curtis, in the First: Bowersock. Second; Miller, Fourth; Bailey, at large. Populist—Ridgley, Third: Vincent, Fifth; Simpson, Seventh, leaving the Sixth in doubt. DEPENDS ON CHICAGO. If Democrat* Carry the City Republican* Will Lose Congressmen. CHICAGO, Nov, s.—Only two minor state officers are to be voted for generally in Illinois next Tuesday. Twenty-two congressmen and a Legislature are, however, to be chosen, and the Interest is centered in them. While the lower house will not participate in the election of a United States senator, twenty-six of the state senators to be elected will hold over and take part in naming a successor to Senator Cullora. The Republicans claim sixteen ol the districts, giving ten to the Democrats. The latter, on the other hand, say they will elect seventeen senators and the Republicans four, calling among others the five Chicago districts doubtful. The present congressional delegatioh consists of seventeen Republicans, four Democrats and one fusionist. The Republicans assert that they will gain one or two seats. The Democrats, on the contrary, are confident of carrying Chicago, and if they do, their expectation of several new congressmen may be realized. Silver formed a part of the basis of the campaign of the Democrats in the congressional districts, considerable stress being laid also on the McCleary bill, which it was maintained, would, if passed, result in a “bankers’ trust.’’ The Republicans urged adherence to the gold standard and the necessity of electing men who would support the policy of the administration in dealing with expansion and other questions arising out of the Spanish war. + IN THE BLUE GRASS STATE. Democrats Say Republican* May Elect One CongreMHinnn. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. s.—The eve of election next Tuesday for representatives in Congress finds the Democrats enthusiastic. They claim that the Kentucky congressional delegation will have an increased Democratic majority. The delegation now stands seven Democrats and four Republicans. The Democrats figure that only in the Eleventh district are the Republicans certain of electing their candidate, Vincent Boreing, while in the Fifth, Eighth and Ninth, where the Republicans now have the representatives, the Democrats concede their opponents have no more, than a fair chance to win. On the other hand, the Republicans are confident of returning Waiter Evans from the Fifth, or Ixiuisville, district, where the Democrats are not working entirely in harmony. They claim that Pugh, in the Ninth., will certainly be returned, and maintain that Davidson, in the Eighth, has a strong fighting chance. IN WASHINGTON STATE. Everything in Sight Claimed by the fusion list Manager. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 5. —Comparatively little interest is taken in the campaign which will close Monday night. A considerable falling off in the vote is indicated. The campaign has been confined chietty to local issues. E. D. McLaughlin, chairman of the fusion campaign committee, representing the Populists, Democrats and Silver Republican organizations, said to-night: "We will re-elect Congressmen Lewis and Jones and the two Supreme Court judges by pluralities ranging from 8.000 to 10.000. We will also have a good working majority in the Legislature, which will choose a successor to Senator John L. Wilson.” Chairman J. H. Schively, of the Republican state central committee', said: "The Republican ticket will be elected by majorities ranging from 2.000 to 4,000. We will elect at the very least sixty members of the Legislature. This will give us a majority of eight on joint ballot.”

Fusion Kiglit In a Texas District. DALLAS, Tex.. Nov. s.—The close of the campaign in Texas is without interest. There is a certainty of eleven Democrats in Congress out of a total of thirteen, the two doubtful districts being the Tenth and Twelfth. In the Tenth Congressman Hawley, Republican, claims the election, but the whole force of the state organization has been thrown against him and the fight has been fast and lurious. National and local issues both figure largely in the canvass. The betting is slightly In favor of Hawley. In the Twelfth Congressman Slayden, Dem., who voted for the Dingley protective tariff bill, is opposed by ex-Congressinan George H. Noonan, and they have canvassed the district for several weeks. This fight has been so overshadowed by the fierce contest in Hawley's district that little attention has been paid to the result. Both sides claim the result by a good-sized majority. In all the other districts it Is conceded that the. Democrats will elect their candidates without any trouble. Soutli Dakota Estimates. SIOUX FALLS, S. D„ Nov, 5.—A complete state and congressional and legislative ticket is to be chosen in this State. The Republicans are fighting against a fusion of Populists, Democrats and Fuee Silver Republicans. The Prohibitionists have a ticket in the field, but it will not secure 1,000 voters. The Republicans have forced the fighting on national issues, and have urged upon voters the duty of standing by the administration. The Republican piatform declares unequivocally tor the goid standard. The fusiouists have avoided silver issues where possible, have criticised the administration's conduct of the war and have urged their claims to suffrage on the strength of having passed a stringent anti-railroad law two years ago. Chairman Harriod, of the Republican committee, predicts victory for the state ticket, and says two Republicans will be elected to succeed two Populists in Congress. Chairman Kidd, of the Populist state committee, predicts the election of the fusion ticket by not less than 5,000. Republicans Expect to Lose Votes. WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. s.—The campaign was closed to-day with political meetings in all tour districts. To-day the Democratic leaders claim confidently that they will elect all four congressmen and believe the Legislature will have a working majority and will elect a Democratic successor to Senator Falkner. The Republican majorities of 1896, which ranged from 1.100 to 3,500, will sure.'y be very nearly wiped out, if not entirely. The Republican managers concede that in every district they will lose votes, but they have hopes for success in the First and Third districts. They also claimed the Legislature, basing the hope on the hold-over Republican state senators. The return of hundreds of goid Democrats who voted the Republican ticket in 1890 to the regular Democracy is a feature that will have much weight in the direction ol' Democratic success. Poor State for Democrat*. DES MOINES, la., Nov. s.—The campaign. which closes with final meetings all ever the State Monday, has been very quiet, the congressional contests being close in only two districts—the Sixth and Eighth. Nine state officers, namely—secretary, treasurer and auditor of state, judge, clerk and reporter of the Supreme Court, attorney general and two railroad commissioners—are to be elected. To-night Republican Chairman Hancock claims the State by 50.000 majority, and says all Republican congressional candidates will be elected. Democratic Chairman Townsend refuses to make an official statement. The fusionists, Democrats, Populists and Free Silver Republicans, however, expect to elect Weaver congressman over Congressman Lacey in the Sixth. The Republicans admit the district Is close, but claim that 550 plurality is in sight. Congressman Hepburn’s district has been close, but he sent word to headquarters to-day that he will be elected by from 800 to 1,300 plurality. The Figlit in l'tub. SALT LAKE, Utah. Nov. s.—Utah will on Tuesday next elect one supreme judge, one congressman, ten state senators and fortyfive representatives. The candidates are: Republican, C. S. Zane, for judge, and Alma Eldridge, for Congress. Democratic, R. N. Buskin, for judge, and B. H. Roberts, for Congress. Populist, J. M. Bowman, for

judge, and Warren Foster, for Congress. All parties favor the free coinage of silver. The fight against Eldridge has been made on the ground that he is allied with a national party that favors the gold standard. The Republicans have combatted Roberts on account of his opposition to women suffrage, his vote against the eighthour l?w and upon allegation that he is a polygamist, in violation of the state law, and the conditions imposed by the enabling act under which Utah was admitted. The next Legislature will elect a United States senator. The nine hold-over senators are Democrats. Wyoming a Republican State. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. s.—The campaign in Wyoming practically closed tonight with a good prospect for a heavy vote on Tuesday. There are three state and congressional tickets in the field, the officers to be filled being Governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer, superintendent of public instruction and Justice of the Supreme Court. Three parties—Republican, People’s and a fusion of the Democrats and silver Republicans have candidates for Congress as follows: Republican. Frank W. Mondell; fusion, Constantine P. Arnold; People’s, William Brown. The Republicans have supported the administration in the conduct and conclusion of the war with Spain and the gold standard. Fusion issue was free coinage of silver and criticism of the conduct of the war. Indications point to the election of Mondell to Congress and the entire Republican state and legislative tickets by moderate majorities. PoMMlbftitle* in Maryland. BALTIMORE, Nov. s—Both Republicans and Democrats are claiming five of the six members of the Maryland delegation to Congress. Senator Wellington, chairman of the Republican state central committee, claims that the Republican candidates in the Second. Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts will surely be elected, while Jackson, in the First, has a good running chance. On the other hand, Murray Van Diver, chairman of the Democratic state committee, asserts that Smith, Tippett, Schwatka, Denny and Cummings, candidates in the first five districts, are already elected, and nothing remains but to count the ballots. In the Sixth district, Potflnberger, it is averred, will surely be heard from in the finish. A conservative estimate gives the Democrats the First and Fifth districts, with a possibility in the Third. Women Will Vote in lilabo, BOISE, Ida., Nov. s.—The campaign in this State Js drawing to a close with all parties very confident. There are three tickets in the field—Republican, Populist and fusion between Democrats and Silver Republicans. It is admitted by all parties that the Republicans have made great gains over two years ago, when they polled only 6,000 votes out of a total of 28,000. National Issues have dominated the canvass, special stress being laid on the free coinage question. The Republicans claim that they will elect their candidate, W. B. Reyburn. to Congress, but the fusionists are equally confident that ox-Congressman Wilson will be successful. The woman vote is anew element in the campaign, and the politicians are at a loss to know how to estimate the effect of its appearance. The women have generally’ registered. 1* Robert* a Polygamist i SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 5.-Speaking at a Republican meeting in tills city, Gov, Wells, referring to the candidacy of B. H. Roberts for Congress on the Democratic ticket, said: “Avman who does not deny’ that he is living in violation of the laws of the State has accepted a nomination for office. Publicity has heen given to his domestic relations and all the facts will be known to Congress when he presents his credentials to the House. The agitation of the question will be a great detriment to the State of Utah and to the best interest of the people. For myself, I prefer that the people shall work out their own salvation and refer to Congress questions teat have already been settled. us nrove to the world th.et we are able to settle our own family affairs. Let us defeat Air. Roberts. Let us have peace.” McMilliii Will Carry Tennp**pe. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 5.-The campaign in this State closed Monday with a rally’ for McMiilin, Democrat, for Governor In this city. Four gubernatorial candidates are in the field—McMilli :. Democrat; Fowler. Republican; Richardson, Populist, and Turnley, Prohibitionist. Turnley and Richardson will not he known hi the race. The majority of the Populists will vote the Democratic ticket. Eight of ten congressmen will be Democrats. The First and Second districts will return Brownlee and Gibson, both Republicans. The Legislature is certain to be Democratic in both branches, and will return Senator Bate to the United States Senate. A decrease in the vote of both leading parties from the vote of 1896 is expected. McMillin's majority is placed at from ten to fifteen thousand.

May Get Rid of the Roach. FARGO, N. D., Nov. s.—The election outlook, as is usual in this State, is uncertain. Various changes in the election law’s, changing the form of the balloting and defining fusion will affect the vote, as voters are expected to be confused by the changes. The Republican state committee to-night claim majorities ranging from 3,500 to 7.000 on the state ticket ns well as the election of congressmen. The fusion managers claimed 1.000 to 2,000 on the state ticket and congressman. A successor to United States Senator Roach will be chosen bv the legislature to be elected Tuesday. The Republicans claim a strong majority, while the best fusion claim is for a possible majority on joint ballot. Republican disaffection is one of the reasons given for a possible falling off on the head of the ticket. In the Tar-Heel State. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 6.—The Democrats closed their campaign to-day with large rallies in nearly every county. There is great enthusiasm and universal belief among Democrats that their judicial ticket and a majority of both houses of the State Legislature will be elected. The Republicans are inclined to concede the lower house, but claim that they will elect their judicial ticket, at least eight of the nine congressmen and a majority of the state senators. The Democratic state chairman, F. M. Simmons, gave out a statement this evening, in which he says: “We will elect both branches of the Legislature, the House by a large majority and the Senate by a good, safe working majority.’’ He claims five of the congressman, with a good chance for the rest. I Anti-Stewart* Hopeful In Nevada. RENO, Nev., Nov. s.—The best information obtainable indicates the election of the silver ticket with possibly three exceptions, Governor, superintendent of public instruction and state controller, down to the county ticket, where the silverites and Democrats are fused, but where it is expected the vote will be more for the man than for the party. Senator Stewart has made a desperate canvass of the State and looks a winner, but the anti-Stewart people claim a safe majority in the Legislature this winter. There has been much taik of defeating Newlands for Congress, hut it seems utterly unfounded. Sadler will run behind his ticket, but may be elected through the vote being divided, each of his three opponents drawing a strong support. Democrat* "Won't tarry Connecticut. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. s—The Connecticut campaign has been commonplace. The Republicans to-night are claiming safe and generally handsome majorities for their candidates for all offices. The Democrats refrain from wholesale claims and content themselves with declaring that the Republican majorities of 1896 will be markedly reduced. Impartial observers are inclined to predict the election of Senator Lounsbury, the Republican candidate for Governor, with all of his colleagues on the Republican ticket. The state Legislature is booked by experts as easily Republican on joint ballot, while in the four congressional districts three Republicans are practically sure of election. Alabama Democrat* Claim All. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. s.—The Democratic campaign managers claim that Alabama will be represente'h by a solid Democratic delegation in the next Congress. Only two districts, the Fourth and Seventh, were ever in doubt, and the Democrats claim their nominees will be elected from these by such majorities that it would be folly for the Republicans to contest. One or Two District* Uncertain. BOSTON. Nov. s.—The political situation fit the close of the state campaign is not uncertain save in one or tvo congressional districts. The Republicans claim that Governor Wolcott’s plurality will be increased; that all of the twelve Republican congress-

men will be returned, and that the Legislature will show little change from its present Republican aspect in both branches. Col. A. H. Cooling, chairman of the Republican state central committee, says: “Os course, the full state ticket will be elected by an increased plurality, and we are hopeful that we shall return the congressmen in twelve districts, while in the only overwhelming Democratic district I think the returns will awaken considerable surprise as to the strength of our candidate.” Georgia May Be All Democratic. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. s.—Notwithstanding a surprise which was sprung at the eleventh hour looking to a fusion of Populists and 'Republicans in the Ninth district, it is believed Georgia will return to Congress a delegation solidly Democratic. The Democrats have taken cognizance of the move in the Ninth and to-night sent word to the party members in that district to turn out and re-elect Tate, Democrat. No tear of defeat is expected, as the warning will reach the Ninth in the morning. The contest between Brantley. Democrat, and Wilkinson, Republican, in the Eleventh, has been particularly spirited, but Brantley’s election is believed to be a certainty. A light vote is expected. Yeorheei May Be Elected. NEWARK, N. J., Nov. s.—Both sides on the eve of election appear to be confident of success. The leaders at the rival headquarters to-day were not inclined to boast much about, figures. Chairman Murphy, of the Republican state committee, said he felt justified in claiming that Voorhees would be elected Governor by from 7,000 to 10,000 plurality, and that 'the Republicans would have a majority in the next Legislature on joint bal.ot. Senator James Smith, the Democratic state leader, whose re-elec-tion is at stake, told everyone that he felt sure of the election of Crane for Governor, but could not conceal his anxiety about the Democrats carrying the Legislature. Boat well Like Hoar. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. s.—Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell, ex-secretary of the treasury of the United States, in an address here yesterday on the subject, “Imperialism,” summed up as follows: “Instructed by Senator Hoar’s speech, I qualify the propositions before me sh this form: First, give to Hawaii a territorial government and upon a liberal basis; second, insist on an independent government for Cuba, and give no encouragement to the project for annexation: third, abandon Poito Rico and the Spanish islands of the Pacific ocean without controversy, debate or negotiations with anyone.” Two Doubtful Districts. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. s.—The Virginia elections of Tuesday next are for congressmen only. State Democratic Chairman Ellyson said to-night: “The outlook in Virginia is as encouraging as the most ardent Democrat could desire. We will certainly elect eight out of the ten congressmen. The Ninth and Tenth are the only closely contested districts, and I believe that the chances are in favor of our carrying these.” Those in touch with Republican headquarters, however, claim the Republicans will carry the Ninth and Tenth districts and probably the Fifth. One-Sided In Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. s.—One of the most one-sided congressional campaigns ever witnessed in Arkansas came to a close to-night. In five of the six districts there are no candidates in opposition to the Democratic ticket, but the Republicans have a candidate in the Fifth. There is some talk of an attempt on the part of the Republicans to take advantage of the Democratic apathy and vote in concert for a candidate agreed upon, but they have no hope of success outside of the Fifth district, and the result in that is hardly considered in doubt, \o Estimate* in Delaware. WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. s.—The close of the political campaign in Delaware finds both parties claiming the State, but neither the Democratic nor the Republican chairman will give out definite estimates. The most reasonable estimate is that the majority on the congressional and state tickets will not be more than five hundred either way. The Democratic prospects are somewhat better than those of the Republicans. With respect to the Legislature it is almost certain that the Democrats will have a majority on joint ballot. Mo Real Contest. VICKSBURG, Miss., Nov. s.—At the close of the campaign there is no real contest in this State except in the Sixth district. Here there is a peculiar situation growing out of the death of Congressman Love, who had no opposition. The time was too short before the election to permit a party nomination, and this had the effect of producing two Democratic candidates—F. A. McLain and M. M. Evans: a Populist, N. C. Hat horn, and a Republican. H. C. Turley. It is commonly thought that the former will be elected.

Republican Victory Assured. CONCORD, N. H., Nov. s.—Senator Jacob H. Gallinger, chairman of the Republican state committee, says that the Republicans will elect the whole state ticket, both congressmen and a large majority of both branches of the Legislature.

Amey, chairman of the Democratic state committee, said that his party w 7 iil have four or five state senators out of twenty-four and an increased number of members in the House.

Fla., Nov. s.—On Tuesday Florida will elect two justices of the Supreme Court, thrft* members of the railroad commission, a state treasurer, a Legislature, which will meet in April and name a successor to Senator Pasco, and two congressmen.

HELENA, Mont., Nov. s.—There is no reason to believe the Republican state ticket will come near being elected next Tuesday. The Democrats, administration Republicans and Populists and silver Republicans combined have state tickets in the field. The Democrats will doubtless elect all their candidates. Democrat* Have Mo Hope. PROVIDENCE. R. 1., Nov. s.—The congressional campaign in Rhode Island has been entirely devoid of interest because the Democrats conceded at the outset that their candidates would be defeated.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. s.—The political campaign in the congressional districts of Louisiana has closed without a startling incident, and the indications are that a solid Democratic delegation will be elected to Congress. WILL CHANGE CAMPS. Troops Will Mot Go from Present Quartern Direct to tabu. WASHINGTON, Nov. s.—The order which designates the troops to occupy different portions of Cuba has raised a question as to whether or not it is the intention of the War Department to have the troops go direct from their present camps to Cuba instead of occupying a Southern winter camp selected some time ago. It can be stated that such is not the intention, and that the troops will be moved from Knoxville and Lexington and Middletown to these camps very soon. It is velieved that the transfer will be very beneficial to the troops, and that not only will they find a more salubrious climate, but that the duty of breaking one camp and establishing another will be better for them than remaining in one place. It will be nearly two months before all the troops designated for Cuba are sent to the island, so there will be quite a long time for them to remain in the Georgia and South Carolina camps.
